Survival of patients with heart failure after myocardial infarction varies depending on the severity of the heart failure. Patients with mild symptoms may survive for years to decades, while those with more severe symptoms or conditions such as reinfarction will have a shorter survival.
Heart failure due to myocardial infarction is very common in the clinic. If the patient is treated with reperfusion therapy in time after the infarction, which does not have a serious impact on cardiac function, then the symptoms of heart failure are relatively mild, and scientific treatment has little impact on life expectancy. If heart attack patients do not receive timely treatment, myocardial necrosis area is large, the decline in cardiac function is serious, the risk of re-infarction is large, the survival rate is low, and the survival time is short.
Patients with heart failure caused by heart attack need active treatment to reduce myocardial injury and cardiac function damage and prolong survival.
